Pato

[New York Red]

30 million from AC Milan for him.

 

He's good, but come on. He's 17!

[surf]

they just want him to boost their net spend

30 million from AC Milan for him.

 

Yeah dollars not pounds

[New York Red]

Yeah dollars not pounds

 

Didn't notice that. Not so bad I suppose but still a bit much for a kid.

[Maldini]

It wasn't $30m either, it was $20m, about £11m.

[New York Red]

It wasn't $30m either, it was $20m, about £11m.

 

Hmmm, now we're talking.

 

I got the 30 off some dodgy Italian site.

Was in san fran last week and had a brazilian taxi driver and off course the topic went to football.

 

He said they had a few great young players coming through and highlighted Pato as been the pick of the bunch.

 

A cross between Kaka and Ronaldinho is how he described him..

[Maldini]

Every Brazilian player for the next few years will be described like that He's more like a cross between Romario and Kaka

[MFletcher]

Tim Vickery claims the kid is a genius. £11M is a hell of a lot of money for a 17 year old who could find himself struggling to adapt to his surroundings. I reckon that's one of the reasons he chose Milan - a solid Brazilian contingent and some modern Brazilian greats already there (Ronaldo, Cafu, Kaka etc.).

[Maldini]

Put it this way, he's a lot better than Walcott. £11m is a bargain for him.

[Benzo-13]

Think a few of us here would be better than Walcott.. Wenger got done there.
